Hi,
A mate and I have been discussing about gripping and slipping on a stop. Is this even a thing? I've heard about this potential often enough from club members but never heard of it being an actual thing.
.
I fell once at Sell Gill dry pitch when my stop handle got briefly pinned against the wall, but it was only half a metre or so of falling before I fell free and the handle released.
Also, from a pure safety perspective, wouldn't a stop always outshine a simple?
